regional executive team more in the future. I am very honoured and excited
to be assisting in any way I can for such a great organization! Super
excited to share the information received with my colleagues so we can bring
more people out to next year's event." Connie O, Edmonton

"I thoroughly enjoyed the 2015 Ottawa Conference. It was the first IPM
conference that I've attended. Initially I was a bit apprehensive about
spending a day in a room without windows listening to speeches but it was
great and went by quickly. The material covered was relevant and the
presenters were very talented and engaging speakers. I'd recently completed
a corporate training course held by Algonquin College and I found the
information provided at the IPM event served to bolster that course material
as well. It didn't hurt that the lunch was delicious, and the room and
service provided by the hotel were very nice. Thanks so much for our group
subscription door prize, it was another bonus!" Frances B, Ottawa

"As Regional Co-Chair for the Ottawa/Eastern Ontario Chapter of IPM Associations, I'm always looking for ways to promote IPM conferences. I sit on the Advisory Committee for the School of Business at a local college. Around the table are executives from leading local firms. One of them, the president of an HR consulting firm, attended the last conference at my invitation. When I announced this year's event in April, he spoke up and said it was one of the best conferences he's ever attended. He congratulated IPM on the diversity of the agenda, the quality of the speakers and the organization of the entire day. Word of mouth recommendations certainly work. Other senior executives from that group will also be registering for our events." Diane J., Ottawa

One of the biggest differentiators at IPM conferences is that participants have the opportunity to mix and mingle with a variety of people in an ideal ballroom round table setting for the entire day's event.
